Yes, basically it would be all merged together with the release notes for Debian 2.0; that's what Igor Groebman seemed to be saying. He also told me the person who volunteered to do it disappeared. It would be fabulous if you could do that document! > If this needs to be an sgml document, please give me detailed > instructions, as I have never used sgml (I normally use emacs for > everything; I know emacs has an sgml mode, but I don't know how to use > it.

I hope Andres Jellinghaus (sp?) is listening? Bob, I'll send the notes to you privately in the next message. Please rely on me for clarifications and improvements. As far as the broader issue of constructing the release notes, I don't know what else we have to work with, excepting perhaps the Debian 1.3 release notes and the 2.0 design goals documents. Gluck! .....A. P. Harris...apharris@onShore.com...<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
